ABSTRACT:
A protective housing for electrical connections has a base and a selectively removable cover defining a chamber between the cover and the base. The cover includes a plurality of openings, which provide for passage of electrical cords and permit liquid to drain from the chamber. Electrical connections rest upon a raised area of the base that serves as a floor for the chamber. The floor is sloped from a raised central area towards the edges of the floor to drain liquid out of the chamber. The cover and the base form an interference fit and a flush seam located below the platform. The openings are generally located at the seam so that they may serve as the passageway through which water and debris exit the chamber. The housing is made of material that floats in liquid to maximize protection of the electrical components.
